Kenya - The prelude to Otto’s long journey Kenya The prelude to Otto’s long journey date of entry 19/12/1988 GDP 41.117 M. US-Dollar official language Swahili/English The East African country was the starting point for Otto’s great journey: Gunther Holtorf sent the new vehicle he had just purchased, as yet unmodified, by aeroplane to Mombasa at the end of 1988. The Lufthansa cargo plane was empty and on an assignment to collect carnations for the Christmas shopping season. Otto was allowed to join the flight for a modest contribution. In Kenya Gunther Holtorf intended to explore Africa with his third wife. After a short period, however, their relationship started to break down and they both flew back to Germany in the spring and divorced. But that had nothing to do with the Kenya to which Gunther Holtorf returned with pleasure time and again with his fourth wife Christine. The country continually offered fantastic opportunities for observing wildlife. However, as the years went by, it became more and more difficult and dangerous to travel in Kenya.

The Samburu are a nomadic tribe and live in the desert regions of northern Kenya. The Holtorfs visited the region several times. 23 of 23 Red earth, blue skies and savannah grasslands are typical of Kenya. Here Otto is travelling in the direction of the border with Somalia. 1 of 23 The infrastructure is often rudimentary and still dates back in places to the period of British colonial rule. 2 of 23 Umbrella thorn acacias offer protection against the sun on the journey across open country. 3 of 23 The Holtorfs experienced the wildlife of East Africa close up in Kenya. Here a thieving baboon searches through the cargo on Otto’s roof. 4 of 23 The travellers stocked up on fresh produce at small village markets every day so that they could then cook for themselves in the evening. 5 of 23 Water is scarce in northern Kenya and many places have to be supplied by tanker. In even more remote parts of the country the Holtorfs shared their supplies with locals. Here Christine Holtorf pours out drinking water.

6 of 23 This "Transafrican Highway" never materialised: the plans for a continuous highway from Kenya to the Nigerian capital Lagos proved to be wishful thinking on the part of the governments of the time. "Schwarting" was, incidentally, the name of the Mercedes dealership in Oldenburg where Gunther Holtorf bought Otto. 7 of 23 South of North Horr, Otto stands on a vast plain of mud: the surface is already dry, but it can only support the vehicle on the edge. A few hundred metres further and the vehicle would have sunk in. The only option was to return along the same trail. 8 of 23 Gunther Holtorf searches from Otto’s roof for the track: it was so overgrown that it was impossible to make out. 9 of 23 Millions of pink-coloured flamingos along the shallow shores of Lake Nakuru in central Kenya. The pink ribbon winds around the whole lake. 10 of 23 The delicate birds search for food in the shallow waters. In the alkaline soda lake they find the particular blue-green algae and small crustaceans that give them their pink colour.

11 of 23 Large animals were frequently encountered in Kenya: rhinoceroses, ... 12 of 23 ... and, of course, lions. 15 of 23 When it had rained the red earth often turned into a thick sludge. Gunther Holtorf gained his first experience of what freeing his Otto from the mud was like. He also had his first puncture of the tour here and had to change the wheel in an area frequented by many lions. 16 of 23 Otto often managed to progress along the tracks of finely ground dirt left by other vehicles only at full throttle – churning up a lot of the powdery material in the process. 17 of 23 Ball-shaped reed huts on Lake Turkana, formerly known as Lake Rudolf, in the north of the country on the border with South Sudan. 18 of 23 The inhabitants were happy to receive the unusual visit from Otto. Whereas the younger generation wore Western clothing, ... 19 of 23 ...the grandparents of the family were still dressed in traditional woven cloth. 20 of 23 Massai warriors in their traditional red robes and with their long spears.

21 of 23 The Massai people are probably the most well-known tribe of East Africa and live over an area that spans Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. 22 of 23 Google Map of Kenya - Nations Online Project ___ Satellite View of Kenya Mount Kenya, highest point in Kenya and the second highest mountain in Africa with 5,199 m. Image: Radu Vatcu About Kenya If you think of Kenya, you might think of the sweltering heat of the African savannah grassland with an abundant wildlife of lions, giraffes, leopards, elephants, antelopes, kudus and black rhinos, and images of the annual wildebeest migrations comes to mind. The satellite view and map below is showing the Republic of Kenya. The country is situated on the equator in east central Africa bordering the Indian Ocean in south east. Lake Turkana (Lake Rudolf) to the north, Lake Victoria in the west. The country is bordered by Ethiopia , Somalia , South Sudan, Tanzania , and Uganda . With an area of 580,000 km², Kenya is somewhat larger than Metropolitan France or slightly more than twice the size of the U.S. state of Nevada .

Kenya has a population of 43 million people (2014). Spoken languages are Swahili and English (both official), and numerous indigenous languages mainly Kikuyu and Luhya. Kenya's unique landscape is made up of several distinctive geographical regions. There is the narrow, low-lying, fertile coastal strip along the shores of the Indian Ocean, fringed with coral reefs and islands. A series of low hills in south separates the coastal region from the vast bush-covered fertile plains of the eastern plateau. Lake Baringo is one of the three inter-linked relatively shallow lakes of the Kenya Lake System within the Great Rift Valley, the others being Lake Nakuru and and Lake Elementaita. Image: Doron In the central western corner of the country is the shallow depression of the Lake Victoria basin, which extends to the rift highlands. Northern Kenya is arid terrain, within this deserted part of the country stretches Lake Turkana , a World Heritage Site and the world's largest permanent desert lake. The lake covers the northern part of the Kenyan Rift Valley which disrupts the country's central highlands, further south in the Rift valley is an area where soda lakes with geysers and hot springs alternate with active volcanos.

The areas around the lakes are home to large populations of black rhinos, Rothschild's giraffes, greater kudus, lions, cheetahs and wild dogs. The Kenya Lake System in the Great Rift Valley is since 2011 a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Aberdare Range forms the eastern border of the Rift Valley, it rises to nearly 3,050 m (10,000 ft). Situated in the high plateau area, known as the Kenya Highlands, is Mount Kenya 5,200 m (17,058 ft) highest point in Kenya and second highest mountain in Africa (behind Mount Kilimanjaro ), Mount Elgon is with 4,322m (14,176 ft) the second highest mountain in the country.

Some points of interest when visiting Kenya: Nairobi National Park (Kenya's first National Park), Amboseli National Park, Chyulu Hills National Park, and Tsavo National Park (best wildlife-viewing experiences ever), Maasai Mara (Maasai Mara game reserve is contiguous with the Serengeti National Park (Tanzania), even better wildlife-viewing experiences), Lake Nakuru (greater and lesser pink flamingos famously line the shores), Thimlich Ohinga (a frightening dense forest of stone-built ruins), Malindi (exceptionally popular among Italian tourists), Hell's Gate National Park (wildlife, scenery and camping), Lamu Island (the oldest and best-preserved Swahili settlements in East Africa).

The Paradoxes of Ethiopia’s Dam-Building Boom | GeoCurrents The Paradoxes of Ethiopia’s Dam-Building Boom Submitted by Martin W. Lewis on June 6, 2013 – 8:38 am | Tweet The Wikipedia article on Dams and Hydropower in Ethiopia claims that “Ethiopia considers itself the powerhouse of Africa due to its high hydropower potential.” But while Ethiopia’s hydropower resources are indeed impressive, they are dwarfed by those of DR Congo , as the Congo River alone is said to account for as much as 13 percent of total global hydroelectric potential. But due to DR Congo’s political instability and lack of effective government, Ethiopia has emerged as the leader in African hydropower development. As Ethiopia is too poor to finance dam construction on a massive scale, most of the funding has come from China.

In earlier decades, the World Bank had often supported such projects, but it pulled back from hydropower initiatives in the 1990s due to environmental and social concerns. The Bank is currently reconsidering its stance , with an eye to the staggering electricity-generating potential of the Congo River. Ethiopia’s current hydroelectric dam-building program is large indeed, as can be seen in the table posted here. The 6,000 megawatt Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam will be particularly powerful, although its output will still be well below that of China’s 23,500 MW Three Gorges Dam. The resulting surge of power will allow Ethiopia to pursue mass electrification, as currently less than ten percent of its population has access to electricity. But domestic demand alone will not be adequate to justify the costs of the dams, substations, and transmission lines. Ethiopia’s electrical rates are currently low, but the population is too poor to allow substantial price increases. Ethiopia’s meager 17 percent urbanization rate , along with its vast expanses of rugged terrain, will further inhibit the development of its domestic electricity market.

As a result, it will have to export electricity to neighboring countries if it is to profit adequately from its current investments. As it turns out, electricity is already being exported from Ethiopia . December 2011 saw the inauguration of the 283 kilometer (176 mile) Ethiopia-Djibouti transmission line, which is now bringing Ethiopia an estimated $1.5 million a month. The line has significantly reduced Djibouti’s consumption of fossil fuels. The linkage to Djibouti is no surprise, as the small country provides Ethiopia’s main access to the sea. Power lines to Sudan are also being built, but this project has been delayed by the international sanctions imposed on SUNIR International, an Iranian firm that is building substations. Kenya is expected to be the largest importer of Ethiopian power. A $1.26 billion transmission line connecting the two countries is slated to be finished by the end of 2016. A more ambitious project is the Eastern Africa Power Pool, which would connect the power grids of Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan and Djibouti, and which could potentially be extended to southern Africa.

Ethiopia’s dam-building program has generated intense criticism from environmental and cultural-survival organizations. A particular focus of concern is the Gibe III and related projects on the Omo River in the southwest, Ethiopia’s most ethnically diverse area. These projects will not only prevent the annual flooding of the river, which supports local subsistence farming and herding, but will also turn large areas of the lower valley into export-oriented farmlands. A recent report in The Guardian notes harsh repression against villagers resisting the dam and irrigation development. As I nternational Rivers frames the situation : Descending from the central Ethiopian plateau, the Omo River meanders across the country’s parched southwest before spilling into Kenya’s Lake Turkana, the world’s largest desert lake. The Omo River is a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of indigenous farmers, herders and fishermen, who depend on its nourishing floods to sustain their most reliable sources of food. But Ethiopia’s plans to build Gibe III Dam threatens the food security and local economies that support more than half a million people in southwest Ethiopia and along the shores of Kenya’s Lake Turkana.

Construction began in 2006 with flagrant violations of Ethiopia’s own laws on environmental protection and procurement practices, and the national constitution. The project’s US$1.7 billion contract was awarded without competition to Italian construction giant Salini, raising serious questions about the project’s integrity. As of early 2012, the dam was reportedly half complete. Although environmental activists in Kenya are worried about environmental and cultural consequences in their own country from damming the Omo River, the Kenyan government is eager for the electricity, and hence willing to overlook all such problems. The effects on Lake Turkana (formerly called Lake Rudolf), however, could be severe, leading some writers to make comparisons with the Aral Sea. Although Turkana is alkaline and brackish, it supports an important fishery as well as a minor tourism industry. It is also highly vulnerable to reduced water flow. As noted in Mail & Guardian , a 2006 drought in Ethiopia: turned into a nightmare for local fishermen, forced into deeper waters and hostile zones in search of fish migrating from receding southern shores. Weapons, mainly AK-47 assault rifles, have been added to their usual gear alongside the poles and nets.

The Omo River projects are more controversial than those located farther to the north, as they will displace far more people and cause much more widespread environmental damage. Most of the dams in central and northern Ethiopia are geared to electrical generation, without major agricultural components, and they tend to be located in lightly populated areas. Still, criticisms of these projects have been harsh as well. The Ethiopian government is relatively repressive and authoritarian, and it has not tolerated open debate on the benefits and detriments of massive dam building. Contracts have also been awarded without competitive bids, often to the Italian firm Salini, leading to warnings about corruption. Concerns have also been raised about drought, which may become more intensive due to climate change, undermining electricity generation. Environmental and other anti-dam groups argued that Ethiopia can forgo the construction of large hydropower projects and instead obtain adequate power from solar arrays, wind-farms, geo-thermal projects, and micro-hydro installations.

International Rivers in particular advocates small, decentralized power sources, which it claims are “better suited to meeting the needs of the rural majority (and better suited to adapting to the hydrological risks of a changing climate).” Unfortunately, power from most “green renewable” sources tends to be much more expensive than that from large-scale hydro, requiring as well electricity storage for periods without sun or wind, which are major concerns, especially in a country as poor as Ethiopia. Solar and wind power, moreover, would not allow the possibility of electricity export, a feature highly valued by not only by Ethiopia but also by Kenya, Djibouti, and other neighboring countries. Africa’s electricity demand is growing steady and will surge ahead if the region experiences sustained economic growth. Hydropower, along with the development of an integrated electrical grid, could allow this demand to be met without producing large quantities of greenhouse gasses. Trade-offs, however, will be unavoidable. In some cases, negative environmental and cultural consequences may well outweigh any environmental benefits. But it does seem inevitable that the early 21st century will be an era of major dam construction across much of sub-Saharan Africa, with Ethiopia leading the way. If DR Congo were to follow suit, the consequences could be enormous.

But for that to happen, the development of political stability and effective governance in the vast central African country will first be necessary. KAKAMEGA, KENYA: City of Peace, welcomes you!

Breaking news on Kenya - breakingnews.com Kenya (/ˈkɛnjə/; locally [ˈkɛɲa]), officially the Republic of Kenya, is a country in Africa and a founding member of the East African Community (EAC). Its capital and largest city is Nairobi. Kenya's territory lies on the equator and overlies the East African Rift covering a diverse and expansive terrain that extends roughly from Lake Victoria to Lake Turkana (formerly called Lake Rudolf) and further south-east to the Indian Ocean. It is bordered by Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, South Sudan to the north-west, Ethiopia to the north and Somalia to the north-east. Kenya covers 581,309 km2 (224,445 sq mi), and had a population of approximately 45 million people in July 2014.

Kenya has a warm and humid tropical climate on its Indian Ocean coastline. The climate is cooler in the savannah grasslands around the capital city, Nairobi, and especially closer to Mount Kenya, which has snow permanently on its peaks. Further inland, in the Nyanza region, there is a hot and dry climate which becomes humid around Lake Victoria, the largest tropical fresh-water lake in the world. This gives way to temperate and forested hilly areas in the neighbouring western region. The north-eastern regions along the border with Somalia and Ethiopia are arid and semi-arid areas with near-desert landscapes. Kenya is known for its safaris, diverse climate and geography, and expansive wildlife reserves and national parks such as the East and West Tsavo National Park, the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Aberdares National Park. Kenya has several world heritage sites such as Lamu and numerous beaches, including in Diani, Bamburi and Kilifi, where international yachting competitions are held every year. The African Great Lakes region, which Kenya is a part of, has been inhabited by humans since the Lower Paleolithic period.

By the first millennium AD, the Bantu expansion had reached the area from West-Central Africa. The borders of the modern state consequently comprise the crossroads of the Niger-Congo, Nilo-Saharan and Afroasiatic areas of the continent, representing most major ethnolinguistic groups found in Africa. Bantu and Nilotic populations together constitute around 97% of the nation's residents. European and Arab presence in coastal Mombasa dates to the Early Modern period; European exploration of the interior began in the 19th century. The British Empire established the East Africa Protectorate in 1895, which starting in 1920 gave way to the Kenya Colony. Kenya obtained independence in December 1963. Following a referendum in August 2010 and adoption of a new constitution, Kenya is now divided into 47 semi-autonomous counties, governed by elected governors. The capital, Nairobi, is a regional commercial hub. The economy of Kenya is the largest by GDP in East and Central Africa. Agriculture is a major employer; the country traditionally exports tea and coffee and has more recently begun to export fresh flowers to Europe. The service industry is also a major economic driver.

Additionally, Kenya is a member of the East African Community trading bloc. Links Earth Snapshot • Great Rift Valley June 10th, 2012 Category: Dust Storms Ethiopia - June 9th, 2012 Dust blows across the Red Sea and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait (upper right), over Eritrea (by the coast) and over Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, it is hemmed in and funneled southwards by the mountains bordering the Afar Region. The name of the funnel-shaped area is the Afar Depression or Afar Triangle, a geological depression that is caused by the Afar Triple Junction which is part of the Great Rift Valley. It overlaps Eritrea, Djibouti and the entire Afar Region of Ethiopia. Visible near the left edge, unaffected by the dust, is the green Lake Tana. December 31st, 2011 Category: Image of the day , Lakes , Volcanoes Uganda and Kenya - December 29th, 2011 The image focuses on Lake Turkana, formerly known as Lake Rudolf, is a lake in the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, with its far northern end crossing into Ethiopia.

Here, sediments and algal growth turn the lake’s color from tan in the north to green and then a dark, bluish green in the south. It is the world’s largest permanent desert lake and the world’s largest alkaline lake. The rocks of the surrounding area are predominantly volcanic. Central Island is an active volcano, emitting vapors. Outcrops and rocky shores are found on the East and South shores of the lake, while dunes, spits and flats are on the West and North, at a lower elevation. Visible at the bottom edge of the image are Lake Kyoga, a large shallow lake complex of Uganda, and Mount Elgon, an extinct shield volcano on the border of Uganda and Kenya. It is the oldest and largest solitary volcano in East Africa, covering an area of around 3500 km². Lake Kyoga has an area of about 1,720 km2. The Victoria Nile flows through the lake on its way from Lake Victoria to Lake Albert.

December 1st, 2011 Category: Lakes Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania - November 22nd, 2011 Two large African lakes can be observed here: the brownish grey Lake Rukwa (upper left corner) and the elongated, dark blue Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa). Lake Malawi is an African Great Lake and the southernmost lake in the Great Rift Valley system of East Africa. This lake, the third largest in Africa and the eighth largest lake in the world, is located between Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania. It is the second deepest lake in Africa. Lake Rukwa is an alkaline lake in southwestern Tanzania, lying midway between Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa at an elevation of about 800 metres, in a parallel branch of the rift system. The lake has seen large fluctuations in its size over the years, due to varying inflow of streams. Currently it is about 180 km long and averages about 32 km wide, making it about 5760 square kilometres in size.

November 15th, 2011 Category: Lakes Malawi - November 8th, 2011 This APM image shows a small section of the shoreline of Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa in most countries), an African Great Lake, in Malawi. The shoreline appears mountainous, as Lake Malawi lies in the Great Rift Valley that was formed by the opening of the East African Rift, where the African tectonic plate is being split into two pieces. It is the southernmost lake in the Great Rift Valley system of East Africa. Further south, upon opening the full image, the city of Lilongwe can be observed as a yellowish area near the center right edge. It is the capital and largest city of Malawi, with an estimated population of 902,388 as of 2009. Lilongwe lies in the country’s central region, on the Lilongwe River, near the border of Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia, and on the main north-south highway of Malawi. Lilongwe features a humid subtropical climate that borders on a subtropical highland climate, with pleasantly warm summers and mild “winters”.

Due to the altitude, temperatures are lower than would be expected for a city located in the tropics. October 11th, 2011 Category: Lakes DRC and Rwanda - October 3rd, 2011 This orthorectified image shows Lake Kivu, one of the African Great Lakes. It lies on the border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. Lake Kivu empties into the Ruzizi River, which flows southwards into Lake Tanganyika. The lake is in the Albertine (western) Rift, a part of the Great Rift Valley. The large island visible parallel to the left edge of the image is Idjwi, belonging to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. At 70 km in length and with an area of 340 km², it is the second largest inland island in Africa, and the tenth largest in the world.
